Philadelphia is 27-10-5 on the year and the Flyers lead the Atlantic Division and have the best record in the East. The Flyers are 14-4-3 on the road and have scored 142 goals while allowing 109. They have won 7 in their last 10 games.
Boston is 23-12-7 on the season and leading the Northeast Division. The Bruins are 10-7-3 at home and have scored 123 goals while allowing just 93. The Bruins have won just 6 of their last 10 games but scored a point in 9 of their last 10.
